The bus stopped along a road when a large herd of bison passed nearby, and seniors filed out to take photos. Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldnt recreate. The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors werent recreating, just taking photos.

She responded and said, Sir, you are recreating, and her tone became very aggressive, Vaillancourt said.

The seniors quickly filed back onboard and the bus went to the Old Faithful Inn, the parks premier lodge located adjacent to the parks most famous site, Old Faithful geyser. That was as close as they could get to the famous site  barricades were erected around Old Faithful, and the seniors were locked inside the hotel, where armed rangers stayed at the door.

Disgusting...truly disgusting. Clown Prince nobama and his commie minions should be “run out of town on a rail.” The same is true here in S UT at Zion NP where you can drive through on the open state highway, but if you stop to “take pictures or recreate, you will be ticketed and fined”. Do we now live in a tyranny or what? Maybe I’ll drive through Zion today with my eyes closed. I wouldn’t want to steal any photons from the all-powerful commie government under Clown Prince nobama.

“That was as close as they could get to the famous site  barricades were erected around Old Faithful, and the seniors were locked inside the hotel, where armed rangers stayed at the door.”

This absolutely can not be true, is it satire? Seniors were locked inside the hotel, armed rangers stayed at the door? Please, tell me this is not true, because if it is, there is much more going on than a government shutdown, and something has to be done.

The question to me is - where are the enterprising young journalists that want to make a name for themselves by exposing these Nazi tactics by our government? This teeny weeny newspaper in Lawrence MA is barely open. Where are the folks with a real megaphone in exposing this obviously absurd government action ?

The question has been asked on various other threads in the past .... would Americans (like police, military, .... rangers) take orders from the government i.e. tin pot dictator Obama and open fire on their fellow Americans? Looks like Obama has turned the NPS into his own version of the Brown Shirts. He’s ‘testing’ the waters ..... NPS/gov’t workers obeying orders to be ‘ugly’ (first step - what is next?) to their fellow citizens, no real pushback from the sheeple.

In all of these cases, try and get the names and pictures of the brown shirts and post them to social media. The park rangers must be shunned in their communities. They are agents of the oppressor. A diplomatic protest from a foreign government would also be in order.

I think this shows that the purpose of big government is to employ leftists... the bigger government gets, the more leftists are employed, ensconcing all the more the leftist’s power. Government employment is like working for a union... the government shuts down, the union sends out its goons to beat people up and break things, and everybody else shies away... damnable... how long America, how long?

See, this is the point where you need to start with the civil disobedience and mockery. I can’t recreate? Watch me! Start a sing a long, skip around, play frisbee.... force the thugs to try to arrest you for “recreating” and then make a public spectacle of the trial.

This story really ticks me off...and I’m perpetually ticked off lately. No one I know (other than on conservative websites) even knows about all this. I got in a nasty argument with a lifelong friend over all the closures. She said I should just put up a HATE OBAMA (her caps) website and be done with it. Methinks she’s in for a rude awakening.

Interesting how these public ‘servants’ like to push other citizens around. For forty years, Christ has been exorcised from public life, so these Federal employees truly don’t know their right hand from their left. They make perfect recruits for enforcement of Obama’s New Order.

When you take government or state money there is always the possibility of this happening. However, since the people own the government and state this shouldn’t happen.

The Dean of my high school for 33 years never took a penny from government. They pulled and pushed her so many times, even tried to get to her through her students; but no dice. She never did. I think that was one of the most important lessons in life I ever learned.
